    Suggestions for Forums V2.0

    Ok i know that we have had one of these before but it was a long time ago and i feel we are nearing the time when u guys are gonna fix up a new one..

    To help here are some things that people have complained about.

     1. A Media section....

           - For all the talented sig artist to post tutorials, talk about gfx related things, and such..

           - An organized sig request that people can orderly ask for sigs. I believe this is what skita1 wants..

           - Fan Art display.

           - Fan movies??

    2. General Discussion....

           - The one we have now is haphazard.

           - Maybe if it is broken up into sub sections such as: Halo General Discussion, Gaming General Discussion, Music/Movie General discussion.

           - And maybe also a Random General Discussion. So that users can chat without destroying other peoples threads.

    3. Halo-verse

            - I think it needs to have subsections like: Newb Questions, Halo Theories, Disscussion on books, Disscussion on Games.

            - A fan fic area. I knwo Rotaretilbo writes a little.

    4. Game Suggestions

            - I do not spend much time in it other than i know people do not see the Master thread at all. So maybe make it more noticeable.

            - A subsection for all updates, I know a few people did not know about the first two.

            - Perhaps sections for different aspects of the game, like: AI, Units, Controls, ect... Or maybe keep it the way it is, really all that matters here is your convinence.

    5. New Member Section

            - I have been on a few forums that have a mandatory section where u can only post there for your first day... This is an important thread b/c there are so many people hopping on, like tehpwner117, just b/c they were banned. Also it would limit the, "Gee i like the pretty graphics" threads. A place where senior members can kinda guide the newbies on their first posts.

    Hope this helps you guys in your quest to make V2.0 If not then just nuke my thread. And please people add what you would like to see in the new version.

    The "Random General Discussion" sounds like a nice off-topic forum for people to move their political discussions and whatnot. A fanfic area sounds pretty neat too.

    When the game comes out, there should be separate forums for news about single player and multiplayer.

    I thought about that after i posted it... But that can be V2.1 when the game comes out. But dont know if you saw the newly added New Members section. I think there needs to be a place where they can be welcomed and accepted so they are not flamed when they hit the big waters.

    Re: Suggestions for Forums V2.0

    1. Off-Topic
    We definately need to have an off-topic section somewhere. It will help get rid of the clogging on the the main pages

    2. Bio
    Personally, I think we need a more interactive bio page. Under the favorites section, you should have a list of the threads that you've created. If this is too much for the servers, than never mind.
    Another thing to go under this would be awards. Like have some medals for participating during certain events, or having a log of 4 hours, etc. Again, if the servers don't have the memeory, then it's ok.
    We should get avatars, but I think you guys have already got that covered

    3. Options
    First of all, the user options should be permanent. I've noticed on these forums that whenever you save something, it is never permanent
    Second, it would be cool to have a user customizeable forum. The user would have several different skins to choose from, and various other things, that they could change, depending on their mood. Also, with this, I would hope that user created skins could be supported.

    4. Stickies
    If a thread is stickied (I an in no way directing this to the Master Thread), it needs to be a little more noticeable. Like Dmand said, put some shiny rotating border around it, so people know to read it.

    Re: Suggestions for Forums V2.0

    You don't want to many subforums because people like it nice and simple.

    Re: Suggestions for Forums V2.0

    I agree that there should not be to many subsections but we need a little more space then what we have now, b/c so many people want to post unhalo related stuff and when they post it in the gen discussion they get flamed.. Not so much now as in the past but we still need more spam threads.
